False Flags – « fag pack politics in skanky Paris jazz club sometime between now and then »

Incantations – « an alternative simplification of Everywhen – obviously we chose the complicated electric direction on 100th Window » Silent Spring – « unfinished/unstarted piece of new language recorded with Elizabeth recently – file under tracks to sort out later » Bullet Boy – « the closing title track written for inspiring film director Saul Dibb, summer 2003 » Black Melt – « alternative version of the Mezzanine track we have been performing live the last two tours – removing the Manfred Mann sample we were sued over stealing » Joy Luck Club – « romantic homage to Icelandic nights out, sketchbook piece recorded last year with the delightful Debbie Clare of the band Oom » Small Time Shoot Em Up – « myself and Mr Albarn chasing it down in the short hours (everyone else was looking at the clock humorlessly as the moon went down) » I Against I – « minutes of fun slamming sci-fi beats and organs against Mos Def’ s machine gun rap » I Want You – « sexy nostalgia from ‘ 97, Madonna getting down with us in a pre Angelo D’ Angelo style for the Marvin tribute album »
